Former Bucs OG Arron Sears was released Tuesday after 62 days in jail on a charge of battery on a law enforcement officer.

The officer involved opted not to pursue charges, recognizing that Sears would be best served by entering an 18-month mental health pretrial intervention program. If Sears successfully completes the much-needed program, the charges will be dropped. Tue, Apr 5, 2011 05:27:00 PM

Former Bucs OG Arron Sears' Thursday court appearance was waived because jail deputies couldn't transfer him from a bus to the courthouse.

Former Bucs OG Arron Sears, in jail for the past 34 days, has a hearing Thursday to determine if he will receive psychiatric help after assaulting a law enforcement officer.

He needs it, and the assistant state attorney acknowledges that it's "not always about sending people prison" if they're mentally unstable. Police have made 11 visits to Sears' home in the past nine months, including once when Sears referred to himself as "God." In a short stay at a mental hospital Sears "demanded a beer and a black and mild (cigar)," threatening that the "place is going to blow" when he was denied. Sears is now indigent, and his NFL career is over at age 26. Tue, Mar 8, 2011 09:45:00 PM

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers OG Arron Sears was arrested again Wednesday for failing to appear at a December court hearing.

Sears, who has dealt with serious bouts of anxiety/depression, was originally arrested last June for assaulting a law enforcement officer. He was also arrested in November when he was found wandering the streets in Tampa. Sadly, Sears' "personal problem" has likely put an end to a once-promising NFL career. Fri, Feb 4, 2011 11:41:00 AM
